Summary: Well paid, but bad wifi, as reported
Comment: Easy to setup, installed windows7 on it, I am using media player classic – home cinema software although it is not that pretty, and sometimes I have to run an older version.
Overall everything works with some tweaking.

If you hope to just install sw on it and start running 1080p videos, you are choosing the wrong PC. It actually requires DXVA for optimal performance on 1080p videos, and pretty much for every other video I am using windows media player, which works like a charm, even on this low power cpu.

Summary: Great except for wireless
Comment: Not much to add from the previous comments. I would like to simply say I am satisfied with the product 100%. The one weakness I have found is the previously mentioned crappy wireless. My router is upstairs and this machine is downstairs next to my PS3. My PS3 wireless works flawlessly, but this machine has serious issues. It says it’s a good signal and connected at full speed, but i get about 100kb/sec through it. I am unable to stream the simplest of media with the router at that disance.

My solution was to move the wireless router downstairs and plug the MAG into it.

Summary: General Tip
Comment: I just received my Zotac box and since it doesn’t come with an OS I was going to install it from a hard drive, but I had some troubles booting from the hard drive, which I eventually figured out; which is why I’m writing this. All you need to do is plug in a keyboard and then make sure you hold the delete key on it. Once your in the BIOS you can move onto the boot order, but you will have to change the main hard drive to your external drive and then tell the BIOS to boot into that drive. That should work fine to install. I’ll update this review after i’ve gotten windows installed and xbmc and aeon up and running.

Summary: Zotac MAG Review…
Comment: I purchased the item from Amazon with the intention of streaming internet tv. I received the item loaded ubuntu as recommended from another buyer. Setup was a snap and software upgrades a breeze. I havent been able get audio from the computers hdmi cable to the tv. Aside from the heat it generates, its been working great as a desk top computer. I would definitely recommend the product to others.
